[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Ventus throws himself flat as a sudden explosion rocks the tunnel he's digging.

(6)(6)(1) Durant takes 4 dmg (Rock type & fire type) as shards of stone go flying everywhere. A familiar gas, traced with blue flames, is also heavy in the air. Durant is immune to the poison, but Ventus is being very careful not to breathe it lest he risk another paranoid attack.

Lucifer is shielded from damage by Durant, but sent slamming against the stone Durant fills in behind the small party. He slumps to the ground near the prone Ventus. 

Ventus is flat on the ground with his arms over his head, and Lucifer is struggling to regain consciousness.

One moment Ven keeping pace behind Turiel, carefully watching both her's and Lucifer's condition to make sure they were not close to overexerting themselves.

The next, kabooooom.

His eyes go pinprick as he reacts on pure instinct/reflex to evade the blast, doing so in such a way that his body would end up shielding his brother as he saw them drop out of the sky, should the tunnel's ceiling starts to collapse.

In that moment, his mind flashes back to a the time of a Weezing Exploding and miraculously sparring most of then party from the blast but Plusle/Minun (He'd forgotten which exactly) got horribly maimed. A sharp spike of pure fear races through his body, and he desparately prays to Reshirim that a similar fate hasn't fallen his little devil or ironclad insect.

Now he has just a taste of how Shiva felt that day so long ago....

When the group find them, he's still hunched over Lucifer protectively as described by Iron, trembling in shock and paranoid worry that the whole tunnel was going to fall right on top of him if he moved.
